This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, EMMCVPR 2005, held in St. Augustine, FL, USA in November 2005. The 24 revised full papers and 18 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on probabilistic and informational approaches, combinatorial approaches, variational approaches, and other approaches and applications.
Exchange of information and innovative ideas are necessary to accelerate the development of technology. With advent of technology, intelligent and soft computing techniques came into existence with a wide scope of implementation in engineering sciences. Keeping this ideology in preference, this book includes the insights that reflect the ‘Advances in Computer and Computational Sciences’ from upcoming researchers and leading academicians across the globe. It contains high-quality peer-reviewed papers of ‘International Conference on Computer, Communication and Computational Sciences (ICCCCS 2016), held during 12-13 August, 2016 in Ajmer, India. These papers are arranged in the form of ch...

Recent advances in surgical procedures for the management of focal liver diseases have greatly increased the demand for diagnostic accuracy. So far these demands have been only partially met by further technical developments such as colour coded duplex sonography, spiral CT and marked improvements in magnetic resonance imaging. It is becoming increasingly clear that liver specific contrast media are essential for utilizing these technical developments to their fullest advantage in patient care. Against this background, a workshop was held to explore the current methods of diagnostic imaging of the liver and to try and establish a profile for the future liver specific contrast media. The pathologist's introductory and general overview is followed by chapters on the individual imaging procedures such as ultrasound, CT and MRI, so that each of the three is given the attention it deserves. The book will be of interest to radiologists from the various disciplines, and also those who plan and perform therapies, particularly surgeons and internists.
The book "Interaction of Coronavirus Disease 2019 with other Infectious and Systemic Diseases" elaborates on the pathogenesis, co-infection, and association of COVID-19 with other Infectious and Systemic Diseases. Moreover, this book explains pharmacological interventions, and therapeutic targets in COVID19. All chapters cover the different aspects of COVID-19. This book gives first-hand information on the co-infection, post-COVID effects, nanomedicine, and pharmacogenomics in COVID-19. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: Recent developments in COVID-19 pathogenesis and treatment Association of COVID-19 with Infectious diseases and Systemic Diseases COVID-19 and Co-infection Post-COVID and long-term COVID problems Nanomedicine and pharmacogenomics in COVID-19 While other books may touch on COVID-19 pathophysiology and treatment strategies. Unique aspect of this book is that it covers post COVID effects, and Interaction of Coronavirus Disease 2019 with other Infectious and Systemic Diseases.
"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made oj': Benjamin Franklin This book describes the technical principles and applications of echo-planar imaging (EPI) which, as much as any other technique, has shaped the develop ment of modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The principle of EPI, namely, the acquisition of multiple nuclear magnetic resonance echoes from a single spin excitation, has made it possible to shorten the previously time-con suming MRI data acquisition from minutes to much less than a second. Interest ingly, EPI is one of the oldest MRI techniques, conceived in 1976 by Sir Peter Mansfield only 4 years after the initial description of the principles of MRI. One of the inventors of MRI himself, Mansfield realized that fast data acquisition would be paramount in bringing medical applications of MRI to full fruition. The technological challenges in implementing EPI, however, were formidable. Until the end of the 1980s few people believed that EPI would be clinically useful, since its complexity was far greater than that of "conventional" MRI methods.
